Andersen, one of the Big Five accounting firms, has since asked former U.S. Sen. John C. Danforth "to conduct an immediate and comprehensive review of Andersen's records management policy." The auditing firm said it did not know if an in-house directive to preserve documents demanded by government investigators had been violated.

Danforth is probably already working on Bush to sign the Presidential pardons for his personal acquaintances over at Enron.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Danforth a former Senator from Missouri and a close personal friend and political crony of John Ashcroft, who just recused himself from the Enron case because of a conflict of interest, because he had taken political donations from Enron.

Enron's lobbying efforts in a bid to affect national policy exceeded $2 million last year, according to the Center for Public Integrity.

Its lobbyists and consultants included Marc Racicot, the incoming head of the Republican National Committee; Jack Quinn, former White House counsel to President Clinton; and Ralph Reed, a former head of the Christian Coalition.

I was wondering this morning when Jack Quinn's name was going to surface in connection with the Enron case.

I guess Danforth is the Republican version of Jack Quinn.

This was flowing during the Clinton Administration and will be prosecuted during the Bush Administration. How will this reflect on Bush? He had no personal information and big accounting firms were found to repetitively be breaking their operational laws.

I thought this thread was going to be about the Chicago White Sox.
